I am a mechanic and welder, and while working in the manufacture of live traps for almost all animals my true passion are the vehicles, automobiles and motorcycles, restoration of some and making other. I congratulate you sign up for this well of knowledge, im participate in other free information community, chatarrero rat rodders Argentina, where we arrived at interesting things about how and why. Personally I have a collection of more less interesting automobiles and motorcycles, a Mercedes Benz 250 1972 automatic in restoration , a 1967 Chevy II soon to be revived as scrap pick up, and clearly my motorcycles, a Honda CB 450 Nighthawk modified as between wars bike is my current project Is a beautifull engine. I'm making the girder fork at this time, a bobber carried Motorrad, my vehicle abitual a Maico MD 250 awaiting restoration parts for, a Yamaha Enticer waiting for a change of 350 cc engine, a BMW R-67, 1954 waiting also a part of the starting lever. Also chassis, engines, tires, and parts to make what I can think of.

I think i can help and contribute in this community.

A hug for a distance.

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Best, Bob Davidson

I can confirm he is alive, I chatted with him on Instagram a few weeks ago. He’s back in Nor Cal and Virginia City, NV he said. He’s near me, so I’ll probably try to visit him soon.

Yes, it’s good to be alive. It’s good to know you guys are too! Looks like most of the gang is here. I talk to Railroad Bob on FB. I’m still riding and working on bikes. I sold the last chopper, the 200 tire, to a guy in town who in turn sold it to a guy in the midwest somewhere. I rode it a couple times and it was sketchy as hell in the turns. I’ve been doing dual sport camping rides on my 93 BMW R100GS since 2013. We have a group of 8-10 guys that all ride the old airhead GS’s, we camp all over the Nevada and CA deserts. I also have a 94 sporty 1200 that I picked up that I’m slowly turning into a scrambler for street and dirt fire roads. I also just restored a Honda MR175 Elsinore and I’m starting on a couple old Honda Trail 70’s now (DAX for Japan). What are y’all up to?
